It started with a vision. A vision for a retail destination of unrivalled quality at the center of Downtown Dubai, the de facto area for all things groundbreaking. Thus, in 2008, spanning 550,000 square meters across four levels and accommodating more than 1,200 retail outlets, Dubai Mall opened its doors. The mall, under the shadow of Burj Khalifa, is the beating heart of an already industrious Downtown Dubai complete with Dubai Opera, Waterfront Promenade, Dubai Fountain and Burj Park. Perhaps this is the reason the founder of Emaar Properties, Mohamed Ali Alabbar, describes Dubai Mall as “a city within a city".
In fact, Dubai Mall is a horizontal city, bringing the shopping, entertainment, culture and hospitality worlds under one roof. The retail offerings at the mall are unmatched, with its shining jewel, Fashion Avenue, housing more than two hundred boutiques from the most desirable brands. Not to mention the mall’s expansive entertainment options: Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo; Dubai Ice Rink; At the Top, Burj Khalifa; Zabeel Sports District; and Dubai Dino. Then there are the unlimited dining possibilities. And for a particularly memorable experience Souk Al Bahar, an Arab-style dining-and-entertainment development, is an ideal choice to become immersed in the region’s rich cultural heritage.
Founded in Paris in 1994 by Prosper and Martine Assouline, Assouline is the first luxury brand on culture. It began with the desire to create a new, contemporary style of book, using the couple's experienced eye for visually rich stories and compelling narratives.
Guided by their passion for knowledge, culture and travel, the Assoulines have since expanded their vision to 1,700 titles in three main collections, along with special editions and unique library accessories—a grand oeuvre of inspiring creations. Throughout the last quarter of a century, the brand has established a network of international boutiques in prominent locations across the globe.
With a distinguished team of creative talents—which includes the founders' son Alexandre—the brand continues to reinvent the notion of true luxury. Assouline’s roster of collaborators includes some of the world’s most respected brands, artists, photographers, writers and designers.
